MG Midget and Sprite Technical - wish bone woes

I have fitted blue bushes to my front suspension( from
magic midget) but had a real struggle to get them
back on the car. i had to fit two new pivot bolts as
one of the old ones was bent! The bush is turning
in the wish bone!!any ideas regards Pete

the inner bushes don't have steel centres do they; the pivot bolts can't be overtightened as the special washer butts against the shoulder on the bolt. Use a light coating of silicone grease on the pivots, leave everything loose until the car is sitting on its wheels and has settled overnight, then tighten up.
